Sarah turns 5

Sarah turned 5 yesterday.  Sarah is a sweet girl who lives in her own happy world.  She loves playing with squinkies and legos.  She will play alone in her room for hours.  She pretends to build fairy houses and she builds houses for her lego friends.  Sarah is happy until you interupt her world.  We usually argue about getting ready in the morning.  She doesn't want to and she refuses to wear certain things based on the way they feel.  She doesn't wear jeans or t-shirts and she loves shoes.  Lately her hair has to be just right, no fly aways in her face.  She wants constant assurance that she looks beautiful.  Sarah is smart but usually keeps her knowledge to herself.  I truly do not know how much she knows. She usually plays the princess in distress role when it comes to independence and education, then every once and a while she will slip and tell me things out of the blue like, "Mary didn't die she was assumed into Heaven, because she was so special."  My heart swells with love for Sarah and I am so blessed to have her in my life.  She has taught me so much and has helped to make me a better person.

 We had Sarah's party on Saturday and leading up to it she was sooooo excited.  I was glad we decided to have the party in the morning because she was just beside herself with excitement.  We had a squinkie party and had our family and some friends to celebrate with us.  She would talk to me about her birthday everyday and wanted to know all about it.

This is the expression Sarah gave as she opened her gifts because she loves getting gifts from everyone!

 Aunt Ashley and Lucas helped us celebrate.

 Grandma and Mrs. Beth.  Sarah wanted me to email a picture of decorations to Mrs. Beth and invite her to her party because Sarah said "she is just like family."
